Music and poverty — at school I didn’t have shoes to wear to a school function, so I went home and saw an old, torn sneaker. I thought I could use denim and redesign the sneaker so I could attend the function. started doing research, but because social media wasn’t that big yet, I looked around at what people were wearing. I was also listening to a lot of hip-hop.She taught me how to sew and how to be independent from an early age.

We have 18 stores now, and soon we’ll have 20. It feels great to be this young and, after two years and six months, to own a brand that employs so many people. I think we are sitting at 115 employees right now. I have a huge responsibility; God forbid something goes wrong — what am I going to do with 115 people? That’s what pushes me, that we have to keep the jobs and keep the brand.

The S1981 Drip sneaker inspired by the front page of Sowetan when we won the 1996 African Cup of Nations.We are going to see Drip going into sports. I bought a soccer team [Black Eagles FC] to align the brand. We are also moving into the Southern African Development Community and other areas. Currently, we have stores in all nine provinces except Northern Cape. We are also going to see more colour and products.

Local designers have created a capsule collection in honour of Sowetan’s 40th anniversary. The affordable luxe collection will be called S1981, derived from the first letter of the Sowetan and the year it was first established .
